Verse 1: Shadows long and sunsets glow On dirt roads where wild flowers grow Beneath the stars no electric light Just candle flames in the darkest night Horse-drawn carriages clatter by Whispers of wind as eagles fly Letters penned with ink and quill Waiting for news on the windowsill Chorus: Life in 1881 so raw and free Every breath a symphony Before the rush of the modern age Turn the past like an ancient page Verse 2: Wooden porches creak and sway Children laugh and dream all day Fields of gold touch the sky Underneath that big wide eye Blacksmiths forge with sparks that beat Cobblestone paths beneath our feet Marketplace filled with tales untold Barter goods and hearts of gold Chorus: Life in 1881 so raw and free Every breath a symphony Before the rush of the modern age Turn the past like and ancient page
